The fishing weight comprises an elliptical shaped body having an essentially equal upper and lower hemispheres. Mounted to the lower hemisphere and extending outward therefrom is a post. The post further includes a ring for fastening a fishing line thereto distally located from said hemisphere. The upper hemisphere contains a bore axially located therein for receiving the post of the lower hemisphere upon connection of the lower and upper hemispheres.
Description
- The present invention relates to a fishing method and device, more specifically but not by way of limitation, a ledger weight and a method for using the ledger weight with a method feeder for fishing.
- The number of participants involved in the sport of fishing is one of the highest for all sports in the world. Fishing is enjoyed by millions of individuals every year for recreational pleasure as well as professionally. Fishing occurs in a variety of geographical regions in a multitude of climates. From surf fishing in tropical regions to ice fishing in northern regions, there exist common equipment needs for individuals engaged in the sport.
- Participants usually require at least a minimum of equipment such as an assortment of rods, reels, line, lures and other common fishing tools. Participants use this variety of tools and as many methods as possible to increase the probability of catching a fish. Method feeding is one popular technique that is used by fisherman for luring different types of fish. Method feeding is accomplished by using any device that attaches to the fishing line just above or below the hook that carries the hooked bait. Typically method feeders are mesh bags that have been packed with desired bait. The use of a method feeder places a small patch of bait adjacent to the hook and hooked bait in hopes that the extra bait will attract the desired species of fish.
- Commonly a ledger weight or sinker is attached to the fishing line slightly above the hook and hooked bait and completely placed inside the feeding bag. Once the bait is cast the ledger weight keeps the hook and hooked bait positioned in the field of the bait contained in the bag.
- One problem with existing fishing bag techniques is that casting is very difficult. As the ledger weight is completely disposed inside the feeding bag, casting distances usually results in torn bags as result of the shock from the force of an attempted strong cast in conjunction with the ledger weight being completely disposed inside the bag.
- Another issue with current fishing bag techniques is accuracy and distance. As traditional fishing bag systems do not have the ledger weight on the very end of the fishing line, the ability to cast accurately is diminished as the weight provided by the ledger weight and bag are not at the optimum point. A ledger weight on the end of the line would also facilitate a smoother and longer cast, thereby reducing the chances of a broken bag.
- Accordingly there is a need for a ledger weight that can be used with a fishing bag technique that can be secured to the end of the line so as to facilitate accuracy and distance when casting the bag feeder. Furthermore the positioning of the ledger weight at the end of the line would promote smoother casts thereby reducing the probability of breaking the fishing bag.
- It is the object of the present invention to provide a ledger weight to be used with a method feeding technique that will facilitate longer and more accurate casts of the feeding bag.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a ledger weight to be used with a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) bag that will consist of generally two equal halves, one half of the ledger weight being disposed within the PVA bag and the other half being connected to the first half but being external of the PVA bag.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a ledger weight that is easy to use with a PVA bag method feeding system.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide method of using the ledger weight with a PVA bag in order to facilitate longer and more accurate casts thereby promoting a better placement of the bag and bait contained therein in the desired position.
- To the accomplishment of the above and related objects the present invention may be embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Attention is called to the fact that the drawings are illustrative only. Variations are contemplated as being part of the present invention, limited only by the scope of the claims.
- A more complete understanding of the present invention may be had by reference to the following Detailed Description and appended claims when taken in conjunction with the accompanying Drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention operably connected; and -
FIG. 3 is an exploded side view with a portion illustrated in sectional view taken along A-A ofFIG. 2 . - Referring now to the drawings wherein like elements are designated with identical reference numerals throughout the views and figures and wherein the various elements depicted are not necessarily drawn to scale, and in particular
FIGS. 1 and 2 , there is illustrated aledger weight 100 constructed according to the principles of the present invention. - The
ledger weight 100 comprises of a substantially ellipticalshaped body 5. Thebody 5 is manufactured from a solid non-corrosive metal that is dense enough to sink in water such as but not by way of limitation lead or zinc alloy. Although thebody 5 is illustrated in the drawings submitted herewith as being elliptical in shape, it is contemplated within the scope of the present invention that thebody 5 could be numerous different shapes in place of and/or in conjunction with the shape described herein. More specifically but not by way of limitation, thebody 5 could be tear shaped. Furthermore, although no specific dimensions of thebody 5 are required, good results have been achieved with abody 5 that is 1.5 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width. - The
body 5 includes two essentiallyequal hemispheres Upper hemisphere 20 is configured to be superposed on thelower hemisphere 10. When joined the twohemispheres peripheral edge 75 oflower hemisphere 10. Inwardly extending from theperipheral edge 75 of thelower hemisphere 10 is the lower inner surface 70. The lower inner surface 70 is slightly convex in shape. The lower inner surface 70 is designed to be contiguous with the upper inner surface 80 ofupper hemisphere 20 upon joining of the two hemispheres 15. The upper inner surface 80 is concave in shape in order to substantially engage with the lower inner surface 70. The convex shape of the lower inner surface 70 and the concave shape of the upper inner surface 80 functions to strengthen the connection between the twohemispheres - Concentrically mounted to the
lower hemisphere 10 contiguous with the lower inner surface 70 and extending upwardly therefrom is apost 40. Thepost 40 is secured to thelower hemisphere 10 by conventional methods such as but not limited to soldering or welding. It is further contemplated that thepost 40 and thelower hemisphere 10 could be cast manufactured as one assembly. Thepost 40 is manufactured from a suitable non-corrosive durable metal such as lead or zinc alloy. Thepost 40 has asecond end 44 that is contiguous with the lower inner surface 70 and mounted thereto. Externally disposed on thesecond end 44 of thepost 40 proximate to the lower inner surface 70 are outer threads 50. The outer threads 50 are disposed externally on thepost 40 on a portion thereof and are designed to releasably secure thelower hemisphere 10 with theupper hemisphere 20. - As shown in particular in
FIG. 2 , thefirst end 42 of thepost 40 extends beyond theouter surface 35 of theupper hemisphere 20 when thelower hemisphere 10 and theupper hemisphere 20 are connected. This allows the user to fasten a fishing line to thering 60 that is secured to thefirst end 42 of thepost 40. - Referring in particular to
FIG. 1 , contiguous with thefirst end 42 of thepost 40 and extending therefrom is aring 60. Thering 60 is an annular shaped metal ring that is designed to accommodate fishing line. Thering 60 is manufactured from non-corrosive metal such as but not limited to lead or zinc alloy. Thering 60 is secured to thefirst end 42 of thepost 40 by conventional methods such as welding or soldering. Although no specific diameter of thering 60 is required, it is contemplated within the scope of the present invention that thering 60 have a diameter that is no greater than the width of thebore 30 so as to allow thering 60 and thepost 40 to be journaled therein and pass through without restriction. It is further contemplated within the scope of the present invention that thering 60 could be swivel mounted to thefirst end 42 of thepost 40 in order to prevent line twist when in use. Thelower hemisphere 10 is releasably secured to theupper hemisphere 20 by aligning theupper hemisphere 10 axially with thelower hemisphere 10 thereby allowing thepost 40 to be journaled through thebore 30 that is concentrically located in theupper hemisphere 20. Thebore 30 is a cylindrical cavity that is of sufficient diameter to accommodate thepost 40. Thebore 30 has afirst opening 33 and asecond opening 37 which facilitates complete passage of thepost 40 therethrough upon engagement of the two hemispheres 15. Thefirst opening 33 is proximate to the upper inner surface 80. Disposed internally on a portion of thebore 30 proximate to thefirst opening 33 areinner threads 52. Theseinner threads 52 connect with the outer threads 50 on thepost 40 and allow the two hemispheres to be releasably secured. Although no specific type of threads is required, good results have been achieved using coarse threads to promote sufficient joining of the twohemispheres lower hemisphere 10 into the method feeder. - Referring now in particular to
FIG. 2 , thepost 40 axially extends beyond theouter surface 35 through thesecond opening 37 of thebore 30 of theupper hemisphere 20 when the twohemispheres inner threads 52. This allows a user to fasten to the ring 60 a fishing line of desired material by conventional methods such as but not limited to a knot. Theledger weight 100 is designed to be used with a conventional fishing bag such as a mesh or PVA bag. PVA bags are made from polyvinyl alcohol which is a water soluble synthetic polymer made by alcoholysis of polyvinyl acetate. The properties of the PVA bag depend on the degree of polymerization and the percentage of alcoholysis. The water solubility will increase as molecular weight decreases. These bags are commonly referred to as method feeders. Conventional method feeders dissolve after a short period of time once the bag has been submersed in water. - Referring in particular to
FIG. 3 , theledger weight 100 is illustrated with a lateral cross-sectional view of theupper hemisphere 20. Axially located in theupper hemisphere 20 is abore 30. Thebore 30 penetrates completely through theupper hemisphere 20. Thepost 40 passes through thebore 30 and has afirst end 42 that extends above thesecond opening 90 thereby allowing thering 60 to be accessible for fastening a fishing line thereto when thelower hemisphere 10 and theupper hemisphere 20 are joined. - Referring in particular to
FIGS. 1 and 2 submitted herewith, a description of the operation of theledger weight 100 is as follows. An individual will fill a method feeding bag such as a PVA bag with a desired fish food or bait such as but not limited to trout pellets. - Subsequent to filling the bag with the desired fish food or bait, the user will place the
lower hemisphere 10 in the bag with the bait and adjacent to the opening of the bag. The user then secures one end of a fishing line from a rod and reel to thering 60 and extends a segment of line therefrom and fastens a fishing hook to the portion of the line extending past thering 60 using conventional methods such as a knot. Placed thereon the hook is an additional piece of desired bait, which is subsequently hooked to the method feeding bag with the secondary bait or placed inside of the bag. - The user then closes the opening of the bag whereby the bag is secured to a portion of the
post 40 using conventional means such as but not limited to PVA tape or PVA string. The portion of the bag adjacent to the opening is adjacent to the upper inner surface 70. In this configuration, the bag is completely closed with thelower hemisphere 10 of theledger weight 100 being adjacent to the opening of the bag and thepost 40 extending above the location where the bag has been secured thereto. The user then secures theupper hemisphere 20 to thelower hemisphere 10 by inserting thepost 40 through thebore 30 and using the outer threads 50 andinner threads 52 to releasably secure thelower hemisphere 10 to theupper hemisphere 20. - Upon engagement of the two
hemispheres peripheral edge 75 and extends downward therefrom whereby the portion of the feeding bag adjacent to the opening is interposed the upper and lower hemisphere. The user then casts theledger weight 100 with the attached method feeder to the desired location. This process is repeated as the bait needs replenishment after a fish has been caught or the bait in the method feeder has been depleted. - In the preceding detailed description, reference has been made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments, and certain variants thereof, have been described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. It is to be understood that other suitable embodiments may be utilized and that logical changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. The description may omit certain information known to those skilled in the art. The preceding detailed description is, therefore, not intended to be limited to the specific forms set forth herein, but on the contrary, it is intended to cover such alternatives, modifications, and equivalents, as can be reasonably included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
